So i bought a copy of snatcher off ebay, and the guy changed the listing to sold as is.

well it comes and of course it doesnt' work.he tells me to go get it resurfaced, i do so still nothing, now he says i broke it.

Ebay has basically told me im Fucked.

So i wanted to know if anyone could put up the file from the cd.

i'm trying to burn this copy but the thing messes up at 88 percent each time.

if anyone could please help me get atleast a burnt copy of this, i'd be so greatful.

I mean 130 down the drain for a fancy case.

F my life.

DAMN man!....that sux! I'm really sorry to hear that.

I got my copy of "Policenauts" for the PSx, and "Snatcher" for the Sega Saturn (2 copies) from E-bay without a problem....fully sealed and un-opened in perfect condition. I still have my copy of the sega cd snatcher that i purchased on my 14th Bday in great condition! (never would sell it though...I've had it 14 years!)

PM me, i might be able to help you.

Write him a nasty email and tell him what an asshole he is. And make sure you give him some negative feedback for the huge hassle he put you through.

On the upside, pirated copies of all the versions of Snatcher are easy to find online, IF you know where to look...

At this point you now own a real copy of the game, so it's completely legal for you to just download an iso then burn it to a cd. (I hope it's not against the rules to mention this, since it's about iso's). But I'm sure that's what el_ash said if you've PMed him. My guess anyway.

Oh yes, and I just thought of this-- sometimes you see people selling just the Snatcher disc on eBay. It'll cost you more money, of course (around $40?) but then you'll have a real, WORKING copy, with no thanks to that douchebag.

Go to your local hardware shop, and buy either silvo or brasso. These are mildly abrasive solutions that are used to buff out metals. They can also be applied to cd's and dvd's. I have heard many cases were applying brasso to a damaged disc has caused it to work like new. There are a few videos on youtube that explain the actual application process. Im sure this will work for you.

I've even seen some ridiculous YouTube videos that show how to repair a CD with peanut butter and toothpaste (yum!)... not sure how that would work... I've always used rubbing alcohol to fix my CD's, and it usually works on anything but serious scratches. And if your disc is cracked, it's totaled.

Rubbing Alcohol, Like the H2O2 stuff that comes in the brown bottle? I'll have to try that sometime. Thanks.

I heard using a banana was good to fix CDs, I'm not kidding.

No, I'm not talking about hydrogen peroxide. I mean rubbing alcohol- usually comes in a clear bottle. I'm sure hydrogen peroxide would work too, but I've never used it to clean discs.

Do you own a Mega/Sega CD? If you do then you can download the game and burn to disk. The Mega CD has no copy protection so there's no need to fart about trying yo get around it.
Snatcher for the Mega CD is an awesome version. Apparently it's the best version you can get.
Or you could download an emulator Called Fusion. It runs all sorts of Sega's consoles. That's how I'm playing Snatcher at the moment.

Yeow. There should be a way to download the ISO image and burn it, otherwise you could get an emulator (I used Gens) and play it that way. It sucks that you got a Mega CD and the jerk that sold you Snatcher sent you a bum copy. What a jackass.
